Aluminum-Tone Iron · Clear Glass · Industrial Honesty
A pendant that shows its making — the Abeleisa pairs a raw, aluminum-toned iron frame with a clean clear-glass cylinder, leaving the welding seams visible as a deliberate craft choice. Every joint, every brushstroke of oxidation, every slight tonal variation is part of the design — the way real factory or workshop lighting was made before it was sanded smooth and powder-coated into anonymity.
About the Finish — Please Read
This is intentional industrial craftsmanship — not a flawless modern finish. The Abeleisa shows: visible copper-welding seams at structural joints, slight surface oxidation on the iron from the manufacturing process (creating darker, mottled patches), and subtle tonal variation from one piece to another. These are deliberate design choices that capture authentic industrial character — the look of real workshop or factory lighting, not a polished reproduction. Each pendant is slightly unique.

Installation
- Hardwired ceiling installation — a licensed electrician is recommended.
- All mounting hardware and a 39.4″ / 100 cm hanging chain are included. Chain length is adjustable on-site.
- For best visual effect with the clear glass and visible bulb, hang at eye-level offset: 75–90 cm (30–36″) above kitchen islands or breakfast bars; 75–85 cm above dining tables.
- Handle the glass cylinder carefully during installation — clear glass can show fingerprints; a soft cloth wipe after install brings back its clarity.
FAQ
Are the dark patches on the metal a defect or oxidation? +
They are intentional surface oxidation from the manufacturing process — the iron is not coated to a uniform smooth finish, allowing natural oxidation to settle into the surface. This creates the darker, mottled appearance that defines the Abeleisa's industrial character. It is not rust progression and will not continue to develop under normal indoor use; the surface is stable.
Why are the welding seams left visible? +
It's a deliberate design choice. Most modern lighting hides welds with grinding, sanding, and powder coating until the metalwork looks anonymous. The Abeleisa preserves the welds — copper-coloured at the joints — to honour how real industrial fixtures were built before mass production smoothed everything over. If you appreciate the honesty of visible construction, this is a feature; if you want hidden joints, this is the wrong product.
Will my piece look exactly like the photos? +
The shape, dimensions, and overall aesthetic will match. But the exact pattern of welding marks, oxidation distribution, and tonal nuance is unique to each piece. This is intentional. If you order multiple Abeleisa pendants for a row, the slight variation is what makes them feel like a "found" set rather than a manufactured set.
Is the glass clear or frosted? +
The glass is fully clear and transparent — the bulb is completely visible through it. Because of this, your bulb choice has a major visual effect on the overall look.
Which bulb do you recommend? +
A warm white (2700K) Edison-style filament LED bulb in E26 or E27 base, at 4–6W. The visible filament inside the clear glass is the heart of this product's vintage industrial look. Avoid frosted bulbs (they fight the clear-glass design) and avoid cool-white or daylight bulbs (they clash with the warm aged-metal tone).
Is it dimmable? +
Yes — paired with a dimmable Edison-filament LED bulb and a TRIAC-compatible wall dimmer (e.g. Lutron Skylark, Leviton Decora), the Abeleisa dims smoothly. Dimmed warm filament light through clear glass is particularly atmospheric — many owners install on a dimmer specifically for this effect.
How do I clean the glass and metal? +
Switch off the wall power and let the bulb cool. Wipe the clear glass with a soft cloth and mild glass cleaner for the clearest finish. For the metal frame: use only a soft dry cloth — avoid abrasive cleaners, polish, or wet wiping, which can disturb the intentional oxidation and brushwork.
Will the oxidation get worse over time? +
No. The surface is stable under normal indoor conditions — the existing oxidation pattern is sealed in place during manufacturing. It will not progress or "rust through". Avoid exposing the fixture to humidity (e.g. bathrooms, outdoor exposure) or direct moisture, which could affect long-term stability.

The iron story
Honest iron, built to last
Industrial pieces start as steel and iron cut from the drawing, welded, then powder-coated or hand-patinated. The weight you feel is the point — mass reads as quality — and the finish is a living surface, not a coating, so it wears in rather than out.
Mechanical Romance.
Architectural footnotes for the contemporary interior — steel, brass, iron, and the honest marks of the hands that shaped them.

04 — In Context
From Factory Floor
to Gallery Wall.
The workshops of the early twentieth century were the most honest classrooms industrial design ever had. We take our sense of order from the Bauhaus, our raw material from the foundries of Manchester, and apply contemporary proportion so the result belongs in rooms that reward close attention.
Every fixture we make refuses to hide its structure — visible rivets, exposed cable sheathing, hand-laid joinery. What once belonged on the factory floor now reads as architecture within the room.

Pieces that live well with the Abeleisa
From the same Vintage Industrial line — chosen so the room reads as one.
We hung this over our table, and the size feels just right.
The darker marks on the metal give it a worn workshop look.
Really happy with this pendant lamp.
We used two above our kitchen island, and the narrow shape keeps them from blocking the view.
This has exactly the slightly rough, industrial look I was hoping for.
Ours hangs in the entryway, and the lantern-like shape fits the space really well.
Such a cool-looking fixture. It has an old workshop feel without looking like a decoration or prop.
We placed one above our breakfast bar, and the adjustable chain helped us get the drop where we wanted it.
